Game Change is a searing, behind- the-scenes look at John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, from the decision to select Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate to the ticket’s ultimate defeat in the general election just sixty days later. Told primarily through the eyes of senior McCain strategist Steve Schmidt, who originally championed Palin and later came to regret the choice, Game Change pulls back the curtain on the intense human drama surrounding the McCain team, the critical decisions made behind closed doors and how the choice was made to bring Palin on the ticket. The film examines how we choose our leaders by offering a unique glimpse into the inner workings of an historic campaign.

This tour de force by Moore is matched by actors Woody Harrelson, Ed Harris and the rest of the cast. A stunning, all too revealing portrait of Palin, trapped in a situation she should never had been offered. It's almost possible to feel sorry for her. Palin, that is.
